What does 1 Million Elixir smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring a distant third and summer rarely chosen. It is favoured most for nights out and evenings, and seldom for the office. Voters describe it as masculine and modern.

It opens with davana and apple, then moves into a floral, creamy sweetness of Turkish rose, tonka bean and osmanthus. Vanilla, cedarwood and patchouli close it with a woody, spicy warmth. The overall impression is fruity, gourmand and richly oriental.
